Review of Enigmatic Love by Youjin Huh

When I started to go through Abhay's work, I actually had no idea what's going on inside of my mind. However a great inspiration and impression abruptly touched my mind and I read his poems over and over. I didn't expect such romantic and wonderful poetry.

In his poems the process of our life, love and everything else are sometimes so sadly but so beautifully and elegantly described. Above all I like his work because it makes me understand his Indian culture and his life in Russia. I look back on my friendship with Abhay as well as my life in Moscow when reading his poems. I will continue reading his poems before going to bed and then dream of a romantic world.

My friend, Abhay, is not only a very, very talented diplomat but also a brilliant writer. I bet that he is the only “Pushkin from India".

Engimatic Love reviewed by G.S. Joshi

All poems in ‘Enigmatic Love’ are fabulous and touch different chords of human emotions. But the ones which I have found very close to my heart are 'Everlasting Kiss', 'It's raining here' and 'Princess'.

Review of Enigmatic Love by actress & painter Irena Kuksenayte

Dear Abhay,I am honoured to read your work, thank you for trusting me that much! I have read the poems and I enjoyed the simple language and phylosophy that goes through the words of your poems! It is like the drops of the first spring rain, simple and cosy at the same time. I am not a specialist so I don't think I have the right to critisise it, I can just say that I liked it very much and I hope to read the book with the poems when it is ready.
Best wishes,

Enigmatic Love reviewed by author Samia Muqeem

“Enigmatic Love” is a marvelous compilation of love poems written by author Abhay Kumar from the fairy-tale city of Moscow --- for all those young and tender loving hearts across the globe who wish to love and to be loved in return.

Abhay speaks clearly through his words, which are tender loving and kind and opens his heart and door to all who will let him. Each poem is meaningful and there is passion and depth in his writings. He speaks straight from his heart to his audience. He invites you to take a peek at his soul and makes you feel welcome and comfortable through the pages of his book. The poetry flows beautifully from line to line and each poem is heartfelt.

I like, “Let me wait for you”, “The last song”, “It’s Raining here”, “The flower that I once was”, “I remember you”, “You are the Reason” in this delightful collection.

For a poetry lover, this book is a wonderful addition to add to your library. Abhay Kumar’s “Enigmatic Love” is, as promised, a collection of powerful, emotion-filled poetry. It’s a captivating Collection of poems, just as vivid and colorful as a newly painted portrait. I must say, it’s an excellent read and I recommend this book to all poetry lovers --- don’t miss it!

Enigmatic Love- Reviewed by Lindsay Byrens

I have pleasure in reviewing Abhay’s latest poetry publication entitled Enigmatic Love written and inspired during his stay in the fairy tale city of Moscow. As the existentialist philosophers concluded a life is worth living to the fullest. This can be found in his expressive poetry which connects to the hopes and aspirations found in the many facets of love itself, in the love he feels for his life teachers, to the light shining out of the darkness and in the personal relationships which bring meaning into our lives. So for me his poems represent a faith inspired kaleidoscope of joys and longings for the day and for many tomorrows.
In that way my daughter Rachael who is singer songwriter, equally enjoyed reading his poetry and summed it up well. Abhay’s capacity for loving expressed through his eloquent romantic poetry could renew even the most jaded person’s faith in the idea of true love. His poems either take you into the essence of momentary feelings of love, sorrow, longing, heartbreak or they make you ponder the question what is love? Could love be beautiful violence? Could it be growing old watching the years pass, a perfect kiss or life itself with black and white and shades of grey between?
